The Supreme Court talking point

Timid Democrats will bring this up, but there is often a risk when you do something big and dramatic. Electing Obama was a risk ("who would vote for an African American with a middle name of Hussein and no experience?&quot , and going back in history, so was the American Revolution (America's forefathers would've been executed if they lost the war.)

Also, one might think: what is the risk of NOT electing Bernie? World War III with Russia and neocon Hillary (or Trump or Cruz!), continued passage of destructive trade deals which allow big corporations to cement in their power over America and American politics, and America becoming more and more dystopic.

IMO she would not nominate anyone liberal.

We need a president who will nominate a real liberal like Thurgood Marshall to our Supreme Court. I do not see Hillary doing that.

and how naïve to believe that Hillary would result in WWIII, a fate Bernie, with no foreign experience, would mysteriously avoid - reminds of Palin.

Hillary promoted regime change in the middle east yet said we could not afford Bernie's proposals for a better America.

Her priorities are immoral. Look up "Hillary Honduras" and see how we treat duly elected leaders she disagrees with. What right do we have to interfere with sovereign nations elections?

Hillary will keep us at war. Bernie will not.

Vote for Bernie and save thousands of lives.

poor judgement as well. That is a recipe for disaster.

What does that mean?
Also, you might want to edit since you are in the wrong group for such comments.

Sadly I think for many in the United States I have to agree with your use of that word.

And some wonder why the word revolution resonates with so many people.

A word that has come to my mind lately though is feudalism. Also a sad thought.
